Chapter 1444: Chapter 1444: Master and Servant Turn Against Each Other

"Take him out for me!" Jin Hao pointed at Huo Cong and ordered coldly. Jiang Xue’s drug addiction was acting up, making it the perfect time for him to negotiate. But Huo Cong’s presence was only going to ruin things.

Therefore, to ensure his conversation proceeded smoothly, he had to get Huo Cong to leave first. Besides, Huo Cong was too dismissive of him, it was time someone taught him a lesson so he’d understand whose territory this was.

"Jin Hao, what do you want to do?" Huo Cong’s face became grim, looking at those men, his expression turned ugly. He had long known that Jin Hao was no good; he used to pretend, but now he wasn’t even trying to hide it.

Now, he was actually getting people to take him away. Clearly, he meant harm to Jiang Xue. As her bodyguard, if he couldn’t guarantee Jiang Xue’s safety, what face did he have to continue living?

Hence, he absolutely couldn’t leave Jiang Xue’s side, even if it meant dying, he had to die by her side.

Little Fox sensed Huo Cong’s determination and immediately said to Jiang Xue, "Woman, your bodyguard is determined to die; you need to remind him."

Jiang Xue heard Little Fox’s words, her face changed, and she immediately looked at Huo Cong. Unfortunately, Huo Cong didn’t look at her, so he couldn’t receive the message she was trying to convey with her gaze.

Helplessly, Jiang Xue had to speak up, calling out, "Huo Cong!"

"Sister-in-law!" Jiang Xue’s voice made Huo Cong’s expression change, he turned to look at her and then seriously said to her, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry, even if I die, I will protect you wholly."

Upon hearing Huo Cong’s words, Jiang Xue sighed slightly and then said, "Huo Cong, what are you talking about? What’s all this about dying? You’re overthinking. Mr. Jin is our company’s partner, how could he wish for us to die?"

"Sister-in-law!" Huo Cong looked at Jiang Xue in utter disappointment. He never thought Jiang Xue would say such things. The truth was obvious, yet she was still speaking well of Jin Hao, could it be that her drug addiction was truly acting up?

Thinking this way, Huo Cong scrutinized Jiang Xue carefully. But the more he scrutinized, the heavier his heart felt. He couldn’t tell if Jiang Xue’s drug addiction was real or fake.

"Huo Cong, stop talking. I’m fine, you don’t need to worry." Such words made Huo Cong even more disappointed. He truly wanted to just leave, but thinking of his duty and mission, he had to endure for now and patiently persuade Jiang Xue.

"Sister-in-law, you’re not feeling well; should I take you to the hospital?"

"No need, I’m fine." Jiang Xue waved her hand, seeing Huo Cong’s utterly disappointed look, knowing his rationality was slipping, she then said to Jin Hao, "Mr. Jin, don’t you have a place for rest here? Huo Cong is probably tired; could you have someone take him down to rest?"

"Alright!" Jin Hao agreed with a smile, looking at Huo Cong with eyes full of pity. He thought Jiang Xue was about to abandon Huo Cong.

Listening to Jiang Xue’s words, Huo Cong was so angry he almost spat blood. He looked at Jiang Xue in disbelief and asked, "Sister-in-law, you’re having his people take me down to rest?"

However, Jiang Xue did not respond to him but said, "I know you’re tired, go take a break. Don’t worry, I’m really fine."

Jiang Xue deliberately emphasized that she was fine, but Huo Cong didn’t understand. At this moment, his heart was aching because Jiang Xue stood on Jin Hao’s side, actually sending him away.
